"Traffic officers have been unable to track them down as the vehicles are either unregistered or the owners moved residences and failed to notify the authorities of their change of address," says Principal Inspector Merle Lourens.

"Motorists who can assist in identifying these vehicles are urged to contact the Metro Police Control Centre at 0860 POLICE (0860 765 423) with any information."

"Once apprehended, they face having to pay the outstanding fines owing as well as an amount determined by the Magistrate for contempt of court," she says.
